I think that you might mean John Wesley, the original nonconformist.

Wesley viewed his mission in life as one of proclaiming the good news of salvation by faith, which he did whenever a pulpit was offered him. The congregations of the Church of England, however, soon closed their doors to him because of his enthusiasm. He then went to religious societies, trying to inject new spiritual vigour into them.

I would go with Ken Kesey. When you read the "Electric Kool-aid Acid Test" you see that not only was he a hippie and challenged all notions of society and organizations, but he was also such a non-conformist that he would do such wild things that he would seek to over-throw the notions of the non-conformists. When you look at a high school or college year book from the late 1960s or early 1970s you'll see that all of the hippies, the non-conformists, wanted to be different, but in the same way as all of the other non-conformists wanted to be. In their own way, they all wanted to conform to something. Kesey, the author of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" was on the edge all of the time and finally had to over-throw the system of non-conformists who had grabbed hold of the hippie movement. that is the ultimate.
